Are you left- or right-brained? Take the test!

She moves her body like a cyclone

No mention of the quiet hole in the middle, eh? Typical.

was this thread on ilx really a year ago? man time flies fast out of a monkey's ass.

so I wanted to post a complaint about left-brained people. they just don't get it, knowhaimsayin?s
Know any people who don't really know what it's like to be moved by music? or how certain notes can hit certain lifetone when performed in the right sequence? Or how angsty singers should often times be shot in the face, and complex angsty music through instrumentation can be a higher form of art - as subtle nuances go? OR how these left brained people don't even notice that there is emotion in say an instrumental track.

Know any left brainers that can't comprehend why a book or movie ended the way it did, because they lack the emotional comprehension skills (at the time) that allow us to perceive how an ending of a piece of art fits in it's 'right' place?

Shit, cuz if you do know people like this, it's like you have to constantly explain yourself. why can't they just get it.

[end rant posed in the for of a question]

now why is it that this girl is going anti-clockiwise (left-brain) for me right now (was it like that for me the first time?)... I eventually saw her spin both ways the first time I saw that image, but I think it's the initial direction that counts if it takes you at least a couple minutes to get her to spin the other way.

she's all over the place for me

that's not what she said

the fuck is this shit. when i scroll down she changes sometimes. but when i look really hard the one leg clearly passes in front of the other, so how tf can i see it both ways? argughghjfmekldsmx

a fuller explication. (may be already linked upthread, i don't know.)

thankig u, cool shit

grady's mom is zooming hot

my mom: she's going anti-clockwise
(five seconds later)
my mom: now she's going the other way

what does that mean "centrally brained"?

That's head-explosingly great, that.

generally brained

I didn't see this before, but I am totally left-brained, I can not get her to go the other way...

Except when there is three of them! Then they are all over the place.

I never saw a picture in a magic eye painting either!

cover up the legs and see which way they go

Oh! they go clockwise when you do that.

dudes dudes if you focus on only two of the three spinny girls it looks like they are spinning in opposite directions! sometimes.

i can still only see it clockwise. :( apart from on that third one up there! i should surely be able to do it now! but no.

left to right. what does that mean?

although dancer at the top is going right-to left.

lols.

My hypothesis is that the cat is MAGIC and FLOATY and EXTRA AWESOME.

Btw, it's really super easy for me now to change the direction that either the cat or the dancer is spinning. I barely have to take my eyes off the image. I think my brain has caught on to this particular trick.

the cat is really hypnotic

Fuck yeah it is, it's a MAGIC CAT.

Clockwise. I can just about make the dancer go the other way (if I look to the side of the image instead of right at her she sometimes starts going anticlockwise and carries on when I look back at her) but I can't make the cat go the other way.

Usually I see her going clockwise, but have been coding for three hours and now it's really difficult to not see the dancer going counter-clockwise. Perhaps all the left-brain action of coding makes it dominant? Freaky.

cat is anti-clockwise, dancer is still -clockwise. I still can't change the dancer to anti-clockwise without looking at the illustrative examples Tipsy posted upthread, and then I get stuck on it until I look at the clockwise illustration again. :'(

xp to stet:

Not freaky at all, though. Practice a bit at changing the direction of the image, and it gets easier and easier to do. In fact it gets so easy that I can blink and the direction changes, without any concentration at all. That don't mean I'm Super Bi-hemispheric Man any more than it means anyone else has a dominant half of their brain.

And still, that is a floating cat. Who cares what direction it spins?

i just watched the cat spin for 4 relaxing minutes

^ that one's going counter-clockwise

clockwise for me.

iirc right-brained is meant to mean "moar creative/intuitive/___________" right?

which is why ilxors voted for it, to cheer themselves up

coz there is NO FRICKIN WAY that chick is going round clockwise

Last one is clockwise and telling me to kill my parents.

there is no such thing as left-brained/right-brained

Girl and cats going clockwise.

that's what dreams are made of

I can make them spin either way, at will.

Also... INTP. Still. But the margin for T/F gets narrower each time I take it.

Clockwise and clockwise.

why is one of the books on the bookshelf flickering? is it trying to tell me to kill my parents?

WTF? Now it's anti-clockwise and anti-clockwise!

yeah, this thing is bugging me out a bit. I opened it earlier & it was ^ now it is the opposite. Try as I might, I can't *unsee* it either way. Either this is a clever internet joek or I am some sort of schizoid

I can't get them to switch direction "manually" either. Just now I opened this thread and the woman was going clockwise again, so I scrolled down to teh cats and they were still going anti-clockwise. I went back up to the woman and she's going anti-clockwise.

Look at the legs. When they cross, your brain interprets that as one going behind the other. Tell yourself which one is in front or behind, and you can make the picture switch. It's easy.

can't get past the right foot touching the ground
